Raw socket SCPI tools

This is a small collection of CLI tools using standard Berkeley sockets to communicate with laboratory equipment using SCPI. These tools only support a small subset of SCPI and the device commands - and do not provide any device family abstraction or device abstraction layer like libscpi. These tools have been written as a quick hack to play around with SCPI, test how commands work and solve some specific scriptable problems.

Compiling

Use gnu make. Depending on your system this means either

gmake

or

make

Mini CLI tools / examples

The following CLI tools are supplied along with the libraries to allow fast scripting of simple tasks. For more complex tasks one should use the library directly. These CLI tools also serve as examples on how to use the API.

• RIGOL MSO5072
  • rigolmso5000_idn queries the identity string and serial number
  • rigolmso5000_querywaveform queries the waveform from a selected channel into an ASCII data file using the currently selected settings
• SIGLENT SSG3021X
  • siglentssg3021x_idn queries the identity string and serial number
  • siglentssg3021x_rfonoff enables or disables the RF output
  • siglentssg3021x_setfrq sets the frequency (in Hz) on the RF output
  • siglentssg3021x_setpow sets the power (in dBm) on the RF output
• SIGLENT SSA3021X
  • siglentssa3021x_idn queries the identity string and serial number
